The subject "Imaging Systems in Medicine 2" is an integral part of the education of the Master's degree program in Biomedical Engineering at TU Ilmenau. With "TÜbertragungsverhalten bildgebender Systeme in der Medizin / Keller, Andreas", a textbook on the method-oriented fundamentals has now been published for this subject for the first time. Author Professor Andreas Keller has been involved in teaching at the TU Ilmenau for over 40 years.
Imaging systems in medicine use a variety of very different, usually very complex physical effects. This ranges from the attenuation of X-rays to the high-frequency excitation of protons. These interactions cause non-ideal transmission behavior. Points and edges become smeared in the image.
Engineering science has developed methods at a qualitatively different level of abstraction that describe the signal transfer process rather than the energy transfer process. Measured characteristic functions determine properties of the system on an engineering level for all interaction effects used.
The local dynamics of imaging systems, among other things, can be quantified with a uniform, manageable and computable set of methods. For this purpose, parts of the system analysis are applied and presented in the textbook to medical imaging, to the transmission of multidimensional, location-dependent signals, to scanning and cross-sectional reconstruction. Finally, the statement of such an engineering assessment is defined and delimited in the context of the physical, technical, and societal levels of interaction.
The textbook is published by Unicopy Campus Edition in the series "Ilmenauer Editionen" in 2021. It comprises 156 pages and costs 11.50 Euro. ISBN: 9783942646079
